We have all heard of the gatherers as follows: At one time, the Buddha lived in sraffa and gave it to a lonely garden.

At that time, the king of Persia wrote to his ministers and said, "Go and urge the governor to strictly control Yubao's vehicle. I'm going to the Buddha's place to worship and ask questions. " 」

At this time, after receiving the instructions from the king, the left and right ministers immediately reported to the king: "The strict drive has been completed, and now it is time to start. 」

At that time, the king of Persia was surrounded by thousands of people (many infantry and cavalry) in Baoyu's vehicle. He left Swasti and wanted to go to the Jingshe, but he went to the Buddha. The king also removed five ornaments from his body, such as the hood, crown, sword, shoes and golden pen, just as the king did. Put these things aside, then go to the Buddha, dress and salute, and sit on the other side.

At that time, the Buddha once told him profound Buddhism, which made him very happy and gratified. At that time, the king of Persia listened to the Buddha and praised him, saying, "I only hope that the Buddha will be invited by me to support him for three months. During these three months, the monk will not go anywhere else." At this time, the Buddha silently accepted the invitation of the Persian king.

At this time, the king of Persia saw that the Buddha silently accepted his invitation, so he got up from his seat, dressed, saluted and retired. As for the queen of the Acropolis, the minister was ordered to say, "I will support the Buddha and monk for three months." In the meantime, I will provide everything I need when I am sick, such as clothes, food, bedding, medicine and so on. You should also be happy! " The ministers replied, "Yes! 」

At this time, the king of Persia was lying outside the palace gate as a lecture hall (one hall was arranged as a lecture hall). The decoration of the villa is extremely wonderful, with curtains hanging, which cannot be regarded as advocating prostitutes. At the same time, it also manages bathing, oil lamps and all kinds of meals, all of which are delicious. At that time, the king of Persia said in vain, "Time is up! I just hope the world will care about this place! 」

At that time, the Buddha, seeing that the time had come, put on his clothes, held a bowl, led the monks and surrounded them, and entered the Acropolis. As for the lecture hall. Upon arrival, they sat in their seats, and the monks sat in turn.

At this time, the king of Persia led the palace, and he personally served the food and provided what the people needed. Not even three months. The so-called medicine for clothing, food, quilt and illness. When the king offered sacrifices to the Buddha, he saw that the Buddha had finished eating. He scattered all kinds of flowers on the Buddha and monks. Then he found a small seat and sat in front of the Tathagata. He Baizun said, "I once heard the Buddha say that if you give food to animals, you will get a hundred times the pleasure (the price is a hundred times), if you give food to those who break the precepts, you will get a thousand times the pleasure, and if you give food to those who keep the precepts, you will get a million times the pleasure. What's more, what about supporting saints who have already achieved the fruit of Sudoku (inflow, first fruit)? How much more should we provide for the saints in Laistow (two fruits all the way) and the saints in Laistow (one fruit and two fruits)? What's more, how can we feed the saints who go to Anaheim? Besides, what about the saints who support Anaheim's way (no fruit, three fruits)? What's more, how can we support the saints who go to Arhat (Arhat, go to Guo Si)? What's more, what about the saints who support the Arahant Road? What's more, how can the saints who support the Buddha be supported? What's more, what about the saints who support the Buddha? What's more, how to support enlightened saints such as Tathagata and Truth? What's more, how can we support the successful Buddhism and Taoism and its eminent monks? Its blessings and advantages must be immeasurable. What I am doing now has been done today! 」

The Buddha said to him, "Your Majesty! You can't say such things! Blessing should be to not be bored. Today, why did you say: What you did has been done? The reason why I can't speak this language is this: because life and death are long-term and cannot be counted (the Buddha then said that he was born in Tan:)

A long time ago, there was a king named Landlord (Zhu Fang) who once ruled Yanfuzhou's land. The king had a minister named Mingshan, who was not afraid of difficulties in dealing with small things. At that time, the king gave half of Yan Fu's land to his ministers for rule. At this time, Xiao Wang of Mingshan built his own battlements, ranging from twelve days to ten days in things and seven days to ten days in places. This land is very rich and has a large population.

At that time, the name of the city was Zuo, and the name of the first lady of Xianwang was Riyueguang. She is neither long nor short, neither fat nor thin, neither white nor black, and her face is very straight, which is rare in the world. You Bohua's tongue comes out of his mouth and his body is made of sandalwood. Soon after, she became pregnant. The lady went to tell the king, "I am pregnant now." The king was very happy when he heard this. He couldn't win. I'm very glad that I've just sent a message and set up a seat. When the date of pregnancy expired, the wife gave birth to a boy. When I was born, I saw it swaying in the golden light of Yanfuli. Its face is very regular, with 32 phases, and its body is golden. When King Mingshan saw the prince, he was very happy and celebrated! He called all the masters-Brahmins, Taoists and others-to the palace. The king personally hugged the prince, making it easier for the teachers to look at each other and said, "I have this son now." Please look at me and change your name. " 』

At this time, your teachers were instructed by the king to look at each other and observe the appearance of the prince. They said with one voice, "Holy King! The prince is upright, unparalleled, has all the roots, and has the appearance of a 32-year-old adult. Now the prince should have two ways to go. If he is a layman, he is the wheel king and has seven treasures. The so-called Seven Treasures are: Seven Treasures: Lunbao, Box, Ma Bao, Jewelry, Yubao, Ju Shi Bao and Dianbing Bao. There should also be a thousand sons, all brave and strong, who can defeat many enemies. In this four seas, there is naturally no one who can't resist without a knife and staff. If this gentleman becomes a monk and learns Taoism, he will have no understanding of Shanghai, and his merits will spread far and wide: all over the world. On the day when the king gave birth to this prince, there was a bright light, so the name of the prince should be light. " By this time, your physiognomy has finished reading the name of the prince, and you have all returned and left.

At that time, the king held the prince all day. Never left his sight. At the same time, the king built three lecture halls for Wang Zixiu, so that he could live a comfortable life in autumn, winter and summer. He also sent imperial secretaries and women to serve as official posts and let his prince play here.

At that time, the prince lived a happy life. At the age of 29, because of his strong self-confidence, he became a monk and studied Taoism. When the prince became a monk that day, he became a Buddha at night. The so-called Su Hui's inspiration, so that). At that time, everyone in Yan Fuli heard the news: "The Prince's Palace went down to become a monk and became a Buddha that day. In the morning, his father heard the news that the prince became a monk and learned Taoism, that is, he became a Buddha at night. At that time, his father thought: I heard last night that all the days were equally good in the world. This must be a good response, not an evil direction. I should see him now.

At this time, the king led four billion people, surrounded by these men and women, to live in brightly lit places. When you arrive, you should get dressed and sit aside. Four billion people who also went to church sat down. At this time, Tathagata Guangming is talking about wonderful theories for his father and four billion people. The so-called theories are: the theory of giving, the theory of abstinence and the theory of giving birth to heaven. Words are greedy and filthy, and the leakage is not clean. Being a monk is the most important thing, and you can get clean results. At this time, the Tathagata is observing the meaning of all beings, knowing that everyone's mind has softened, and releasing the dharma that Buddhas often say, that is, suffering, determination, exhaustion (extinction) and Tao. They all tell four billion people what they mean. Everyone was in their seats, dried all the dirt and got a clean eye (summary of knowing the truth).

At this time, 4 billion people were all white and said, "We all want to shave our heads and become monks." Your majesty! When you know! At that time, 4 billion people were all scientists, and they became arhats on the day they became monks. At that time, as soon as the lights came on, they took these four billion people, all godless saints, and marched on their national borders. Wherever we go, our people are supported by four things: clothing, food, bedding and medicine when they are sick and thin. At that time, the landlord heard that light has achieved supreme truth and consciousness, and that the four billion people with ties are persistent saints, all marching on their own borders, so he thought: I should send a letter to invite Tathagata to swim here now. If I promise to come, I can satisfy my original wish. If I can't come, I should kneel down and ask questions myself. In this way, the Minister of the Interior said: "When you go there to inquire about the Tathagata, just take my name, and after the ceremony, please come to the Tathagata for peace and prosperity (peace to the Buddha and peace to the county). You can say: the landlord Wang asks the Tathagata to be rich, not rich, and travel with wealth. I only hope that the world will care about this land! Pray for Buddha to come here for enlightenment.

At that time, the minister was ordered by the king to go to the border where the Buddha swam. When I arrived, I put my head on and stood aside. Bai Buddha said, "Your Majesty told me to worship the Buddha's feet. After the ceremony, I asked the Buddha to settle down instead of being greedy and swim vigorously. " I only hope that the world will take care of its country! At that time, Buddha was silent and accepted his invitation.

At that time, the lights came to attract people, and the parade gradually existed in the world, together with the four billion people in the big monk. Everyone is everywhere and there is no disrespect. The so-called clothes, meals, When you are thin, bedding and medicine are both contributions. Gradually, I finally reached the landlord's boundary. The landlord heard that Guangming had come to this boundary, lived in Luoyuan on the northern slope, and led the four billion people of the big monk, saying, "I should meet it myself now. 』

At this time, the landlord Wang also led four billion people to the place where the lights came. When you arrive, you should get dressed and sit aside. Four billion people followed suit and sat aside.

At that time, when the light came, it gradually told the king and the four billion people the wonderful theory face to face. The so-called theory is the theory of giving, abstinence and procreation. Expound that greed is filth, leakage is unclean, and becoming a monk is the most important thing, which can get clean results. At this time, the Tathagata observed the meaning of all beings, and his heart was already very soft. On the other hand, Buddhism, which is often said by Buddhas, namely, suffering, gathering, exhaustion (extinction) and Taoism, has been widely explained to those four billion people. After listening to this, everyone found themselves sitting in their seats, all the dust and dirt were eliminated, and their eyes were clean (the eyes that knew the outline of the truth became obvious). )

At this time, 4 billion people were all white, saying, "We are all willing to shave our heads and become monks." Your majesty! When you know! At that time, 4 billion people were able to become monks and learn the Tao, that is, on the day they became monks, they all achieved the Arhat Tao. At this time, the king stood up from his seat, bowed his head and hung his feet, and then retired.

At that time, when the lamp came, it led 8 billion people, all of whom were arhats, and the trip to the country depended on the country's territory. The king's people are supported by four things: clothes, food, beds, and medicine when they are sick and thin. At this time, when the landlord king was in his spare time, he led his ministers to the Tathagata. When they arrived, they were polite and sat aside. At this moment, the light came and said some subtle words to the king. Bai Ru, the king of the landlords, said, "I just want the world to honor me, live my life and accept my support and monks. Speaking of food, clothing, housing and transportation? Bedding, medicine for thin patients, etc. , are available. At this time, the light came, and he silently accepted the invitation of the king.

At this time, the king saw the Buddha's silent invitation and said to him, "I'm going to ask the Buddha for your wish now, just for his consent!" " The Buddha told him: "Tathagata is beyond this desire. King Bai Shizun said, "What I am asking now is a good wish. The Buddha said to him, "How good is your wish? The 100-year-old King said, "If my view is this: Today monks eat with one vessel, and tomorrow monks eat with another vessel. Monks wear one kind of clothes today, and change another tomorrow. " Today, the monk takes one seat, and tomorrow, the monk takes another seat; Today, people are given to monks, and tomorrow they will be given to monks by others. This is exactly what I want! The light came up to him and told him, "As you wish, now is the right time. 』

At this time, the landlord listened to the Buddha's approval and was very happy, unable to overcome the joy. I got up from my seat, saluted my head and feet, then retired and returned to my palace. When I arrived at the official school, I said to the ministers, "I will try my best to provide lighting, truth and enlightenment, as well as clothes, meals, bedding and medicine for monks when they are sick." You should also persuade me to help me express my feelings. " "Ministers replied," in accordance with your majesty's teaching orders! "Ministers are not far from the city, and within ten days, a hall was built, all carved and colorful. He also hung banners and curtains to promote the music of ci, and sprayed fragrant juice on the ground. We also need to repair the bath, set up lights, have sweets, eat and set up seats. When everything was ready, he said, "It's almost time. Now is the right time. May Buddha bow to this place! "! 』

At this time, the Buddha knew that it was time, so he put on his clothes, held a bowl, and led the monks around. He arrived at the lecture hall, and when he arrived, he sat down. At that time, when the Buddhists and Monks were seated, they took the ladies-in-waiting and other ministers to make their own decisions and went to various diets with hundreds of flavors. 」

At this time, the Buddha called the king, "Your Majesty! When you know! For 70,000 years, the landlords and kings at that time never gave up the Buddha's light and remembered the arhats of eighty people. After receiving education in those places, the Tathagata entered an endless realm of nirvana, a general nirvana (entering the physical and mental destruction, leaving no legacy). The so-called return to the realm of liberation and death).

After the death of Guangfo, the landlord king used hundreds of fragrant flowers to support him. Four temples were built on Siqu Road. Each temple is made of seven treasures, all made of gold, silver, stained glass and water, and hung with banners. Since then, 8 billion monks have gradually entered the realm of nirvana and become nirvana (silent). At that time, the king took away 8 billion monks and cleaned up their relics. Each of them built a temple, and all of them hung coffins to support Koge. Your majesty! When you know! At that time, the landlord king also supported the brightly lit temples, the temples of eight billion arhats. After another 70,000 years, he is ready to support lighting lanterns, scattering flowers and hanging banners. Your majesty! When you know! After the extinction of the light Buddha, the king takes the degree of extinction (death).

Was the landlord king someone else at that time? You have no idea! So the reason is: the landlord Wang at that time, that is, myself. At that time, after a lapse of 70,000 years, I used clothes, rice, bedding and medicine to support the Buddha when I was sick and thin, so that it would not be reduced. After the Buddha's nirvana, for 70,000 years, there was no desire to offer relics, burn incense, light lamps and hang covers. At that time, I asked for this life and death merit in order to get this blessing, not liberation. Your majesty! When you know! At that time, all the blessings depended on whether there was anything left now. Forget it! Because when I look at those blessings now, there are no traces, such as the existence of hair (the blessings no longer exist).

Therefore, your majesty! You can't say, "I have finished my blessing today." "Your majesty! You should say, "What I'm doing now in body, mouth and heart is to get rid of it, not to enjoy its blessing of life and death. "In this way, you can lie in the long night. 』」

At that time, the king of Persia was terrified when he heard that the Buddha was Tan, and his clothes stood on end. At one point, he cried bitterly. He wiped his tears with his hand and bowed to the Buddha's feet with his head in real time. However, from Chen Qi's wrong behavior, he said, "I am stupid and ignorant. I only hope that Buddha will be repented by me! Now throw yourself on the ground, repent your past mistakes and stop saying these careless words. I only hope that the world will accept my confession! Repent to the Buddha again and again!

The Buddha told him: "Good! Very good! Your majesty! Now you can repent of your illegality in front of the Tathagata, and you can change it! I accept your confession now, and I can't do this anymore! 」

At that time, among the crowd, there was a monk named Jia Jianyan. He got up from his seat, got dressed, saluted and said, "What the Buddha is saying now is very subtle. The Buddha also told the king of Persia that he had said something like this: "Your Majesty! When you know! What your body and mind do, you should try your best to get rid of it, instead of enjoying its life and death, so that you can get peace and calm in the long night. I say this because: I recall that in the past thirty-one robberies, there was a kind of consciousness, such as Tathagata, truthfulness and equality, which appeared in the world. For a person who became (virtuous), died well, understood the world, was the supreme master, Taoist priest (transferred husband), teacher of heaven and man, named Buddha, and was blessed by various Buddhas, but swam into the wild horse world (.

At that time, when it was time to eat, the Buddha put on his clothes and went to Maya City to beg for food with a bowl in his hand. At this time, there was a messenger in the city named Chunhei. At that time, I saw Tathagata begging in the city with a bowl. After reading it, I thought: If the Tathagata goes to town now, he must eat and drink. I went into the house and took out food for Tathagata. At the same time, I initiated such a wish and said, "I am willing to hold this merit so that I will not fall into three evils, so that I can come into the world, meet such a holy spirit, and make that holy spirit speak for me and get rid of it at the same time." "Dear Lord, you, as well as the king of Persia, are equally aware of this matter. When the pure black messenger at that time, was it someone else? I can't imagine this, so the reason is: at that time, pure black made people, that is, myself!

At that time, when I was providing food for Tathagata, I made such an oath: "I hope that in the future, I can meet such a sacred honor as I declared, and at the same time free me." "I was born in heaven at the time of the 31 ST robbery, and I was born among people, and I didn't go into three evil ways. Finally, today, I was lucky enough to get such a position, and I was able to become a monk, but I didn't miss anything, which made Arahant grosvenor. As the Buddha said, it is a very subtle method. He told the king of Persia: "Everything that the body and mind do is to seek liberation, and we should not enjoy their blessing of life and death. "If I see monks, monks, Youposai and Youpoxi, and they are happy with the Tathagata, I was born with the idea that these wise men, despite their intentions, still don't like to support the Tathagata. If I see the audience of Department Four, I will tell them, "You sages! What exactly do you need? Is it a cloak? Is that Nishi Tan? Or a syringe? Is it a bath pot? Or other things used by wizards. I know all the supplies. "Since I promised this, I will go begging everywhere. If I can get something useful, it will be a great blessing. If I can't get it, I'll go to Yudanyue (north for Luzhou), Quyeni (west cow Hezhou) and Fugan Station (Dongsheng Shenzhou) to ask for it and give it to those in need. So the reason is: it is all because of these four novels that nirvana has been achieved. 」

At that time, the Buddha observed the hearts of monks in Jia Ye and said to them, "Have you ever seen a monk like Jia Ye who was freed from faith?" The monk replied, "No, Buddha!" The Buddha told them: "The first monk in my story, the one who was freed by faith, is the so-called Kayayan monk! 」

At that time, King Sakyamuni of Persia and the four sects (two monks in the family) listened to what the Buddha said, and they all obeyed with pleasure!
